where your treasure is, there will your heart also be.

faith is a funny thing. it turns up when you dont really expect it. its like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. the castle, well, it may not be a castle. and its not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. see once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath away.
i dont know why we put things off, but if i had to guess, id have to say it has a lot to do with fear. fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if youre wrong? what if youre making a mistake you cant undo? the early bird catches the worm. a stitch in time saves nine. he who hesitates is lost. we cant pretend we hadnt been told. we have all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. we have to make our own mistakes. we have to learn our own lessons. we have to sweep todays possibility under tomorrows rug until we can't anymore. until we finally understand for ourselves. that knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beats the hell out of never trying.
